Rohingya people

The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority primarily from Rakhine State in Myanmar. They have a distinct culture and language but are often denied citizenship and rights by the Myanmar government, leading to severe persecution. Over decades, many Rohingya have faced violence, discrimination, and forced displacement, resulting in a large refugee population in countries like Bangladesh. International concerns focus on human rights violations, statelessness, and the need for protection and recognition for the Rohingya community. Their situation highlights broader issues of ethnic conflict and statelessness in the region.
